How to open MKEY file?
The most common problem when using CompeGPS Land Registration Key is that a specific MKEY is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that MKEY files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MKEY file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install CompeGPS Land
In this case, you should first verify that the CompeGPS Land application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing CompeGPS Land into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support MKEY files.
Programs to open MKEY file
Remember to download programs supporting MKEY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CompeGPS Land with MKEY files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MKEY file still does not use the CompeGPS Land program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CompeGPS Land application as the default for handling the MKEY file.
Step 3. Update CompeGPS Land to the latest version
If, despite the association of the CompeGPS Land program with the CompeGPS Land Registration Key file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the CompeGPS TEAM S.L. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MKEY file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the MKEY file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MKEY file. However, remember that not every infected MKEY file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MKEY files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MKEY files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact CompeGPS TEAM S.L.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MKEY files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MKEY to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MKEY file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MKEY file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MKEY file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
